About ButchOnTap

I am a butch. This blog is about what I think.

If you do not know what butch means, you are probably on the wrong blog. In the interests of inclusion, though, I can tell you that “butch” means a lesbian that is big, strong, tough, more macho, less girly. Of course, there are no hard and fast rules – which is an ongoing theme in my blog and in the comments – but those are the basics. A butch will most likely not wear makeup. A butch is often referred to as “sir” by someone who is not paying attention.

What else? I am, after all, not just a butch. I am head over heels in love with my wife (a gorgeous femme) and the happy mother of two. I am also a lover of, in no particular order, femmes, beer, bow ties, breasts, kayaking, movies, hiking, bookstores, travel, dogs, high heels, geocaching, polar bears, the gym, music, lingerie, gadgets, and more. By day, I am an intrepid corporate entertainment lawyer. Although I try hard not to be labeled as such – sporting a bleached blonde Mohawk, for example. Think more entertainment and less corporate. By night, bring it all on!

In my blog, I talk about things from a butch perspective, but this is not just for butches. We love our femmes. Please do not let me offend femmes! If you like what you read here, I hope you will comment and let me know what you think. If you do not like what you read, well, what the hell do I care? Start your own blog.

I am sending this email on behalf of The Lesbian Lounge on http://www.mylesbianradio.com to advise you that the ladies have a segment on their show where an internet site is featured. Denise, one of the hosts of the show, has selected your blog as the “Cool Blog of the Week” on this week’s live show, July 25, 2012.

The Lesbian Lounge airs on http://www.mylesbianradio.com on Wednesday nights from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (EST). It’s a LGBT talk show that streams live and has the long-time best friends catching up weekly, as Denise resides in the U.K. and Donna is in the U.S. The topics range from food, travel, books, recipes, TV, promoting events from all over, discussing news, gossip, and music. There is also an interactive chatroom where 20 to 30 people go to chat during the show. The ladies usually have special guests lined up to call into the show to talk about their various products, projects or schedules (depending on if it is a business or a musician, etc).

The recorded show is put on the website where you can listen, and they are also posted as podcasts on iTunes for a free downloads. Archived shows are always available for new listeners, as well.

We wanted to let you know so you can check out the show live or the podcast. It will be a brief review of your site, and its location, but we wanted to let you know that we selected you for Wednesday night’s show. This also automatically puts you in the running for their annual awards, features on the MLR site, and gets the word out to over 2,000 listeners a month.

What wonderful news! I am so excited and honored to be selected. Thank you so much for featuring ButchOnTap tomorrow night. I will let all my friends and followers know to listen live or download the podcast. Again, thank you. Thank you! =:o)

I am from NYC but I use to live in San Diego in the early 80’s for approx 3 years – i lived in Hill Crest and at the time there was one gay club West Coast Productions – though Hill Crest was basically gay – no one flaunted their sexuality. In 2010 I returned to Ocean Beach, San Diego for my nephew’s wedding and was so pleasantly surprised re the gay community – club after club – lesbian club after lesbian club – street fairs. . .keep it going San Diego. . .

I just wanted somewhere to post a note to let you know how much I love your blog! I particularly enjoy seeing your shrewd, to-the-point advice to butches and femmes alike, including your hashtagged tweets. Now if only I could get my particular most-loved butch to take some of your hints to heart! 😉

Butch,
A good friend of mine just sent me the “Why i hate the TSA” blog. I too have trouble with the same issue of being mistaken for a man in public. It can be very frustrating. But here is what struggle with the most. I DONT feel like a woman on the inside. I am in the beginning stages of transitioning ftm. So part of me gets excited to hear “sir” and the other part of me says “FREAK”. I live in Oklahoma so it’s not an easy life to live as you can imagine. I have endured the pain, hatred, and disappointment you have felt with a heavy heart. Thank you for blogging your story. Its nice to know i am not alone.

I am the Managing Editor of the online sexuality platform SimplySxy and hope to be able to feature your views through an article piece.

SimplySxy’s mission is the promotion of sex positivity and sexual diversity. We are constantly on the lookout to feature interesting and talented guests on our magazine to promote their work and have them share their opinions with our readers.

We have a LGBTQ section and feature guests by having them share on a particular topic which will give our readers a more intimate and personal touch. You can check out two articles we have published to have an idea:

I found your 2 year old article on powerlifting just now on Huffington Post. My husband was a competitive PL for 15 years and is trying to come out retirement. He’s also a lawyer, PI. No Mohawk though. I hope you’re still lifting. I’m finally trying to get into it. I love the sweat and callouses so far. My femurs are made for squats but ding dang, I hate those DL! Look forward to reading your blog!

Hey.

I see the world in a particular way. This blog is about how I see the world, both the good stuff (like beer) and the bad stuff (like idiots), but hopefully always funny. Leave a comment or drop me an email if you want me to hear how you see the world.
